I decided to do this tonight. I bought the 9" Led strips at Advanced Auto parts for 23 bucks. They come two to a package. They're only about 1/8" thick and come with 2 sided tape to attach them. They come in a few different colors. I got red to match the rest of the interior and stuck them up onto the plastic panels under the dash on each side. When I put in my auto dimming mirror, I put the relay that was needed in the passenger foot well fuse panel, so that's where I was able to do all of my wiring. Basically the + wire for the LEDs needs to have power all of the time. The - wire for the LEDs gets connected to the wire that turns on the dome lights. This is the gray wire in the mirror harness. I don't know for sure, but you may need a relay to isolate this wire from ground. I had to have one to get the LEDs in my mirror to work properly, so I already had one installed. Right now the foot well lights only come on automatically when the map lights do. They also dim along with the map lights. I did not install a switch to turn them on independently.

Here's some pics:
